Hello Everyone! I just wanted to get some good laughs out of everyone and hear about the craziness that we Dragonball fans say and do. I'll share a moment with you.
When I was strolling through wally world(walmart) I seen this huge HD TV! I'm not sure how many inches it was but the first thing I thought was ''I bet Dragonball would look so sweet on that'' hahahaha
that's when I knew just how crazy I was. lol
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128
Still recording Toonami broadcasts on VHS after all these years!

Haha, my bro from KY, what do you call those things you push around shopping centers and put your stuff in?
I knew I was a crazy fan when I wished that all my other friends were into Dragon Ball as much as I was so that I could have Kanzenshuu-level chats with people IRL.

Are we doing in a KY convo?
My roommates said I was a crazy fan when I tried watching the sub once.

When you buy Japanese Dragon Boxes for absurd money despite owning the US ones.
When you bought the Level Sets years after release just to say you have them despite them being cancelled.
When you buy the Rock the Dragon release despite having the entire Ocean/Westwood cast dub recorded on VHS from the initial broadcast.
When you'll probably still pick up the Boo arc of Kai despite hating almost every component of it.
When you end up owning three copies of Battle of Gods for no discernible reason.
When you spend far too much of your student loan on animation cels and figures.
When you buy and return Season 1 of the new Blu-rays just to prove a point to some random person on an internet forum.
I need help.
There are shows out there that I like far more than Dragon Ball that I haven't bought a single thing from.

This is me 100%. I also think how cool it would be to wear weighted shirts while training or in my downtime.
I also cannot stop thinking about drawing Dragon Ball.
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

When you're constantly searching Ebay and other second hand sellers for DB/Z/GT DVDs when you're 90% sure you have every version already.

When your phone contains a text document dedicated to Dragon Ball head canon, and that document is so long it literally takes minutes to scroll down...

My level of crazy is not on the same level as a lot of you lol. Buying things you don't like? (AjayLikesGaming) I don't know about all that. I like Dragon Ball, but I also like not being broke.

When it's the last day before a test and you think how the Room of Spirit and Time would really be useful.

When you spend multiple times retail price (sometimes orders of magnitude) for 20-plus-year-old issues of a magazine that most people threw away a week after buying.

When you join a Dragon Ball fan-site, or constantly selling and re buying the series. Either or.

Every time you go see a film that involves an over the top superpower fight you compare it to the fights in Dragonball and try to imagine how they could be done.

When you've spent many hours manually typing up the info in the Dragon Books because you didn't like the episode summaries found online.
